HS football playoffs Week 2 schedule: Top games, injury questions for Dutch Fork
Dutch Fork football might start the postseason without one of its key players. Silver Foxes coach Tom Knotts said Wednesday that his son and senior quarterback Jaxon Knotts is “questionable” for Friday’s second-round Class 5A playoff game against Fort Mill. Jaxon Knotts suffered a thumb injury during the first half of the regular-season finale against White Knoll on Oct. 30. The senior has been rehabbing the injury multiple times a day to try and play in the game. Dutch Fork was off last week. Knotts, a two-year starter, is completing 71% of his passes for 2,102 yards and 29 total touchdowns this season. If Knotts can’t play, junior Jacob Brown would go in his absence. He has appeared in five games this season and is 16 of 23 for 131 yards. Dutch Fork and most of the other top teams in the area had first-round byes last week. The second round of the playoffs features many intriguing matchups. Here are some to keep an eye on Friday. Games to Watch (7) Fort Mill (9-2) at (2) Dutch Fork (9-0): First meeting between the two teams since 2013. Dutch Fork leads the all-time series, 6-4, including a 2-0 mark under Tom

Columbia approves new build of drive-thru coffee, energy drink chain
COLUMBIA — A new on-the-go option for coffee, energy drinks, smoothies and more was just approved for the northeast Columbia area. A new 7 Brew Coffee drive-thru location is coming to 551 Spears Creek Church Road in the Pontiac area of Elgin.

FAA ground stop halts departures in Columbia, nationwide. Here's what we know.
A nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stop is holding flights that have not departed the runway — in Columbia and nationwide — according to Columbia Metropolitan Airport spokesperson, Kim Crafton. Only aircraft on airport ramps and those that had not yet departed were affected, Crafton said, adding that aircraft already en route can continue to their destinations. The cause and expected duration were not confirmed. “This is pretty unprecedented because there’s only been two other times this has happened, one of which was 911,” Crafton said. An equipment or communications outage might have triggered the FAA’s action, Crafton said, stressing that officials had not shared further details. The Department of Homeland Security have indicated that there are no indications of a cyberattack, and all aircraft are accounted for, despite a number of planes remaining in the air, Crafton said. Travelers scheduled to fly later Friday were urged to check their airline’s flight status before heading to the airport.
